Deus Ex Franchise 75% Off On Steam

How does one approach a situation like this? I'm not sure whether to sneak up on it and hit that "buy" button with a knife-twist-quick flick-of-the-wrist, or to just bust down that door screaming, "I SPILL MY DRINK!" You know, the same way I make my presence known at parties. Anyway, the Deus Ex franchise is going for 75% less this weekend on Steam. I never asked for this, Deus Ex franchise -- but I'm glad you offered.

The Deus Ex Steam sale discounts the original Deus Ex's Game of the Year edition, the recent Human Revolution, and that sequel in between whose existence we try not to acknowledge, even when its cousins ask if "being sent away" was really a euphemism for "taking it out back with a gun." DXHR comes to under nine bucks, and part of me weeps knowing that the life-altering original is now going for $2.50 -- or you can buy everything bundled for $15.

Now even I have no excuses to not play Missing Link, which I originally balked at because really, after Human Revolution, I was so done with watching terribly-animated NPCs randomly attempt to break into The Robot. "You get what you pay for," I'll be able to tell myself this time. And if you've somehow missed the stellar first game? You've got till June 26th to make up for your greatest error in life.
